Meanwhile, Democratic Senators are balking at Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus' proposal to pay for much of the health overhaul by imposing taxes for the first time ever on some of the health benefits that workers get from their employers. But absent those new taxes, Democrats may have to settle...
